Re: [GNC] How to bulk import about 130 Securities entries?

Hi Jim I don't have any experience manipulating GnuCash XML files, but in principle what you want to do should work, although it does void your GnuCash warranty. However, if you are going to all this effort you may find it more worthwhile to invest your time in learning how to use a general

[GNC] What is the difference between Account types "Stock" and "Mutual fund"?

Hello, folks: I am starting to read more closely the GnuCash instructions for tracking investments, after a long time bumbling along tracking current assets, but not really investments. Now I read in the instructions "9.4.1. Setup Accounts for Stocks and Mutual Funds"

[GNC] Why does the sample "investments" account tree have intermediate "Bond", "Mutual Fund", and "Stock" accounts?

Hello, folks: I have been using GnuCash for a long time, starting with the GnuCash template account tree and modifying it gradually, but never thinking hard about it. Until now. I am adding a bunch of investment accounts. This makes me look more closely at the template account structure

[GNC] How to bulk import about 130 Securities entries?

Hello, folks: I am a long-time GnuCash user, and for all those years I have pretty much not attempted to track my investments in GnuCash. But now I want to start.  My first goal is to import many years of past activity. I have downloaded the transactions from my brokerage account as a CSV

Re: [GNC] Crash in Trial Balance report

I can't see the screenshot from here, but what John is suggesting is that GnuCash uses (or may use) a price of $0 in some transactions in that report when it computes the average cost. That could lead to a divide-by-zero error which can cause a crash. He goes on to hint at a way to find the

Re: [GNC] Crash in Trial Balance report

I do not understand what you mean by "numbers in the list" I have many securities that have zero balance (due to being sold). I looked at /tmp/guncash.trace and what I see there mostly matched the Report Error in the Trial Balance display. On Sat, Aug 13, 2022 at 1:44 PM john wrote: > > > > On

Re: [GNC] Zero balances in report

When I changed the account depth to "all", the zero entries (which are stocks) went away. But, that makes the report harder to read. Seems like a bug to me. On Sat, Aug 13, 2022 at 1:56 PM john wrote: > > > > On Aug 13, 2022, at 7:54 AM, Michael Hendry > wrote: > > > > On 13 Aug 2022, at

Re: [GNC] Tax Accounting for Trust Income Received in Following Fiscal Year

One of these years I'll find time to rewrite that chapter. I don't know of any case where someone in GnuCash's target user base of individuals and very small companies would need to book unrealized gains that way; mostly only big financial companies need to do that. The normal way of tracking

Just confirming the nightly works as expected! Upon opening, the scheduled transactions were already there with no user interaction. (bonus: also noticed the links to the various paths in Help > About) On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 4:44 PM Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: >

Thanks John!  Installed the nightly this morning and did some simple testing.  Seems to be working now. Tom On 8/12/2022 3:11 PM, John Ralls wrote: That was it: The registers weren't refreshed unless the SLR dialog runs and the user clicks OK. I've pushed a fix that will be in tomorrow's
